About Synercon

Synercon Management Consulting is an Australian company, operating in all states of Australia and overseas.

Synercon's mission is to help organisations manage their information more effectively, and in the process
empower people to change their habits and implement new processes.

In our 6 year history we have used our knowledge to develop a range of innovative information management
products. These include

Developed in accordance with ISO 15489 standards, a.k.a.® is Australia's foremost thesaurus software and
taxonomy builder.

a.k.a.® Thesaurus Software was launched in August 2000 and the response from the market has been
overwhelmingly enthusiastic. a.k.a.® is now used by government departments, city councils, utilities, legal
firms, universities, hospitals and financial institutions and has become the product of choice for many major
developers of keyword thesauri and classification schemes.

a.k.a.® evolved out of Synercon’s need for an industrial strength thesaurus builder for their consultants
and clients to use. Says Conni Christensen, Principal Consultant: “We searched the market but couldn’t find a
thesaurus tool that really met our own needs. We wanted something that was simple to use, but also published
classification schemes to a range of records and document management systems, including the Windows folder
structure. As we couldn't find anything that matched our specification, we decided to develop our own”.

a.k.a.® Thesaurus Software delivers:

ISO 15489 Business Activity Classification Schemes

keyword in context publication

glossary builder

case file term management

controlled lists linked to case file terms

integrity reports to identify orphans and duplicates

global spell checking and much more!!

One of the more challenging tasks an information manager faces is the development of retention and disposal
authorities.

For corporations, pressure to develop disposal authorities has come from the tightening of legislation in
the wake of Enron and Arthur Andersen. New legislation including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act 2002 require
organisations to monitor, track and manage the creation and reporting of all financial information required
for government reporting.

For government agencies, most archives authorities require the redevelopment of disposal schedules in line
with the DIRKS methodology (see below).

a.k.a.® Retention and Disposal Software has been designed to make the task of the information manager
easier. It enables developers of disposal schedules to build their disposal information step by step,
particularly where there is a need to conform to the DIRKS methodology. As information is gathered about legal
and business requirements for records, so it can be compiled within a.k.a.® and used to substantiate retention and disposal recommendations.

a.k.a.® Retention and Disposal Software follows Synercon's design philosophy to create systems where
information only need be entered once. Therefore tight integration with the a.k.a.® classification software
enables disposal classes to be linked to an existing Business Classification Scheme. All of the outputs of
a.k.a.® software can be uploaded into records and document management systems.

a.k.a.® Retention and Disposal Software has also been designed to meet the needs of information
technologists who are struggling to come to terms with vast amounts of electronic information. a.k.a.®
Retention and Disposal Software supports information lifecycle management (ILM) systems by delivering rules to
manage the progressive migration of electronic documents through tiers of storage.

a.k.a.® Retention and Disposal Software:

Conforms to the ISO 15489 DIRKS methodology

Delivers a range of retention and disposal schedule types

Imports/exports to EDRM systems

Publishes to the Web

Provides flexible reporting

Integrates with a.k.a.® classification software
